Stop Everything And Swoon To Leon Bridges’ New Video For “Better Man”

May 12th, 2015 Matthew Leimkuehler

Leon Bridges is set to take over the world. His juxtaposed mixture of smooth rock and jazz nostalgia with modern pop make for a combination of no boundaries — it’s the type of artist both you and your parents can bond together over.

His debut record, Coming Home, is due out June 23 on Columbia Records and today a music video for the track “Better Man” surfaced online. Check out the roughly 2-and-half-minute track after the jump and fall in love with Bridges’ tunes. Under The Gun Review Editor and Founder James Shotwell had a chance to catch Bridges in Boston earlier this month. You can view some of his thoughts on the experience below as well.

Of the hundreds of shows I have attended in my life, only a handful have sounded as good, if not better, than the recorded material that first grabbed my interest. Bridges is now amongst those special few, and the more I think about it the higher up my list he climbs.
